Does it comfort you that a person ctb every minute or so?

[Weebster]

I often look up things about suicide on YouTube. I saw one comment on a video today that said his wife ctb a month prior despite them making plans about a trip. I guess she decided to take a different kind of trip...

To some extent. It is something like 1% of people who leave this world in this way, usually by some combination of really bad luck, being abused, or making mistakes, which we all do. I didn't want to leave this way, my life had a lot more potential long ago, but I suppose there is some small amount of comfort in knowing that millions of others find themselves in this situation eventually.

 

[lofticries]

Hmm it does make me feel less alone but also frustrated that I can't get the nerve to follow through.

 

[hopelessdreams]

i don't take comfort in numbers at all. nowadays the news is full of numbers of
people who have suffered and are suffering due to poverty, disability, etcetera. i've become desensitized to it. i do however take comfort in the words of the people behind those numbers, in this case SS. that's where the real comfort is at.

 

[FuneralCry]

Not me personally. I envy those who have left this world and it makes me more aware of what I cannot achieve, I am trapped in this world because of the fear of failure and limited access to methods. I do find the thought of non existence to be comforting in general, as it is freedom from all suffering and at least one day I will be gone no matter what.

I think that if I had an option of a peaceful exit, that is what would give me a feeling of relief, knowing that I could leave the pain behind when the time is right for me. It is so horrible that this life is a thing in the first place. To me it is not surprising that so many want to leave. Rest in peace to all those gone.

Not really. I think suicide is often sad and scary and hearing people had to do it in lonely and violent ways is not comforting.

I do get comfort from doctor assisted stories though, I admit.

It comforts me to know that CTB is at least an option, even if it's not the most ideal.

 

[CannotAnymore]

No.. it makes me sad. Especially when so many are so young. There is so much shame and guilt around CTB. The people left behind refuse to acknowledge that they may have played a role, that they may have done something wrong and so it's easier to sweep it under the rug that talk about it. They go to to the thoughts and prayers, mental health matters, blah blah blah and then they move on... So I dunno it's just sad, this world is sad, society is sad..... I'm just sad

Most of these people use violent methods and are going crazy with such sadness and disappointment, there's no way to be happy about it, I wish everyone had access to peaceful means like those euthanasia clinics but it's just a distant dream

1 in 100 deaths is attributed to ctb globally. Equates to approx 700,000 per Year.

Some posters here have pointed out that it's tragic that people choose to end their life, which I agree with, of course, but then it also means that the world and what we call "living" is not all it's cut out to be, which means that ending one's life in a sick world as ours isn't as tragic as ending one's life in a healthy world.

It definitely makes feel a bit less lonely. But not really comforting. I don't wish this on anyone I'm sure some of those are people who genuinely feel completed with life and are choosing they're own way, but I know a lot of them are in pain like me.

 

[Someone123]

I don't wish this on anyone

I would wish this pain in the people who were deliberately cruel to me, but unfortunately it wouldn't work.

 

[Weebster]

I would wish this pain in the people who were deliberately cruel to me, but unfortunately it wouldn't work.

That reminds me of people who say "I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy." Nonsense virtue bs

 

[Twiceler]

The younger the person ctb, the more I envy and admire, the more i thrill. Feels like I'm missing the party.

I feel the same way, my dad and brother both left this world via firearms and it makes me so sad to think about how lonely and scared they must have felt.

 

[Lost Magic]

Difficult to say. On one hand they have found a way out of their worldly pain and on the other hand they are another suicide statistic. I am am more saddened than comforted. The more we stigmatize suicide, the more people will just ignore the plight of the suicidal.

 

[☆AwaitingEntropy☆]

No. If anything, it makes me feel a bit worse. For a while, I was able to convince myself that the issues I've had with life were just a "me" problem. I thought if I could amend my life view, I could find a way to be content.

But, now that I've realized just how widespread dissatisfaction is, I understand the issue is with the world, and the way it's structured, and the cruelty that dwells within. Thinking about the multitude of people who commit suicide each day, not even including the many more who attempt or fantasize about it, is truly upsetting.

I hope they've found the solace they've been searching for, be it an afterlife or reincarnation or a quiet, peaceful emptiness.

 

[Nolan96]

No. Depressing to think of yourself or people you care about having killed themselves being a drop in that giant misery bucket.

 

[faunaaaa]

It is comforting in a way. It gives me hope I can do the same. I hope they are in a better place now- whatever or wherever that may be. I'm happy their suffering is over
